BAY CITY, MI — A Linwood man is facing multiple charges after police allege he attacked his ex-girlfriend’s father on more than one occasion.

The first incident dates to Dec. 31, 2011, when Bay County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an assault complaint at the Kawkawlin Township home of Joseph L. Dewaele III. Dewaele told deputies his daughter’s ex-boyfriend, 20-year-old Clifford J. Cunningham Jr., had walked into his home uninvited and refused to leave. Cunningham went upstairs to Dewaele’s daughter’s bedroom and locked himself inside, Dewaele told deputies.

Dewaele forced the bedroom door open and Cunningham proceeded to shove and punch the homeowner, police reports show. Cunningham then left the residence, allegedly throwing a rock through a living room window from the front yard.

Deputies searched the surrounding area, but were unable to locate Cunningham.

Another incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on June 25. At that time, Michigan State Police troopers responded to Dewaele’s home when he alleged Cunningham attempted to run him over with a truck.

According to court records, Dewaele told troopers Cunningham drove a blue 2005 Chevrolet truck to his house and, again, refused to leave. Cunningham then twice drove the truck at Dewaele, once through his yard and once into the driveway.

Dewaele said he was nearly crushed between the truck and another parked vehicle, court records show. He also told troopers that Cunningham yelled that he would shoot and kill him, court records show.

Cunningham had left the scene by the time troopers arrived. They were unable to locate him, but did find the truck at his house.

Troopers subsequently determined that three warrants had been issued for Cunningham’s arrest on charges of burglary and contempt of court.

Cunningham was arrested in early December and charged with four counts of assault and battery and single counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, third-degree home invasion, domestic violence and malicious destruction of property between $200 and $1,000.

At the time of the alleged assaults on Dewaele, Cunningham was free on bond on single counts of assault and battery and domestic violence, charges he was arraigned on on Nov. 10, 2011.

Cunningham is scheduled to appear for a settlement conference before Bay County Chief District Judge Timothy J. Kelly on Jan. 9.
